cawthon777 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 The Hogan / HTM match was in July of 89, so Honky was no longer champion. I don't know about JUST TV or PPV but here's a rundown as to what champions faced what champions... WWF World vs. IC Backlund vs. Patterson Backlund vs. Muraco Savage vs. Warrior Hogan vs. Warrior Warrior vs. Perfect Bret vs. HBK Yoko vs. Razor (not sure if both were title holders at the time but I think so ... it's on Razor's CHV) Bret vs. Diesel Diesel vs. Jarrett Bret vs. Goldust HBK vs. Goldust Sid vs. Triple H Austin vs. Rock Austin vs. Shamrock (not sure if Austin was champion at the time ... Raw) Angle vs. Jericho Triple H vs. Kane Hardcore vs. World RVD vs. Austin RVD vs. Angle RVD vs. Rock ...And RVD won them all, though they were either non-title or only for the Hardcore belt US vs. World Angle vs. Jericho WCW / NWA US vs. World Nikita Koloff vs. Flair Magnum TA vs. Flair Lex Luger vs. Flair Bill Goldberg vs. Hogan Ric Flair vs. Hogan (when Flair was US champ; Clash of the Champions) TV vs. World Bobby Eaton vs. Flair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 In March 1999 while Rey Mysterio Jr. was Cruiserweight Champion he faced Ric Flair for the World Title on Nitro from Panama City, FL. Also while DDP was U.S. Champion, he faced Sting for the World title in Nitro in April 1998. Just remembered to, In September 1999 T.V. Champion Chris Beniot lost to World Champion Sting on Nitro. That's the only other ones I can remember right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 PEOPLE! PEOPLE! How could we forget this certain World Champion v. Midcard Champion that happened on PPV. I mean footage has been shown on it so many times and it's always talked about. I just remembered it right now: SURVIVOR SERIES 1997: WWF Champion Bret Hart v. European Champion Shawn Michaels.

Guest Sykotic2002 Report post Posted September 17, 2003 Are we counting NWATNA also? If we are then on September 18, 2002 NWA Champion Ron Killings beat X-Division Champion Jerry Lynn. They fought again the next week, but for Lynn's title that time. ECW ECW Champion Sandman v. TV Champion Rhino from the last PPV Guilty as Charged 2001.

JHawk 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 HTM v. Hogan When did this take place? They were scheduled for a title vs. title series (one at MSG, which would have aired on the MSG network), but Hogan lost the title to Andre a week before their first meeting.

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted September 18, 2003 When ECW closed, Rhyno had both belts. He had the TV belt, which I believe he won from Super Crazy and then got the World Title, which so many guys had it toward the end, it wasn't Credible, I'm thinking not even Lynn, I think he got it from Sandman. He got a shot after threatening his wife or something, won it and then the company closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
